| Sumario: | This study aims to discuss the role of supermarkets in the disposal of products, primarily in relation to the production of household waste arising from supermarket shopping. It begins with a reflective approach based on literature and adds up the results of exploratory research. We investigated three supermarkets located on the perimeter of a central city of Ijuí/RS, including their managers and consumers. To collect data, we used the method of survey research with application of 150 questio - nnaires to consumers and interviews with managers of three supermarkets in analysis. We carried out further research participant with monitoring the production of garbage coming from shopping in supermarkets. The results show that households produce a significant amount of waste, arising from purchases in stores, which is discarded in the trash, resulting in environmental and health problems for the population. In this process, it was found that the managers of the three companies perform some actions to reduce the impacts of their operations, however, ultimately minimizing their liability regarding environmental preservation, transferring it to the manufacturer and the consumer. |
